That's funny. If I used the "correct" meaning when precision was required then I'd be wrong every time I need to use it. In computers, bytes are almost always measured in base-2 increments.
When dealing with microcontrollers and datasheets and talking to other designers, yes precision is required, and, e.g. 8KB means, unequivocally and unambiguously, 8192 bytes.

Ummm, should we tell him?
That I can't type worth shit?
Yeah, I already knew that, lol.
But thanks for bringing it to my attention. :-)
